Marrying Need and Opportunity

Overlaying recent and proposed investments with the
Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies the proximity of
opportunities for growth with the areas of significant
deprivation. Areas of opportunity are focused around the
waterfront and town centre, and align strongly with the
concentrations of deprivation found in parts of the Town

Centre, Hindpool, Ormsgill, Barrow Island and
Abbotsmead.

The Town Deal provides an opportunity to empower
disadvantaged communities to access opportunities,
skills and services and contribute to the economic
success of the town. The golden thread of an inclusive
economy will be fundamental to the success of the

Barrow Town Deal by ensuring that everyone has the
ability to participate and share in the benefits of growth
in the town.
